IMPROVEMENT |N CIGAR-cAsE's.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 192,288, datedJune 1 9,1877 application filed December 7, 1876.

To all lwhom it may concern:

Beitknown that I, WILLIAM H. DENNEY, of Philadelphia, in the county ofPhiladelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Cigar- (Jases, and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention,such as Will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains tomake and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, whichform part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in cigar-cases and it consists informing on or in one end of the case a match safe or box having asliding cover, so as to combine a case for the cigars and a box for thematches in a single implement, as will be more fully describedhereinafter.

Figure l is a section of my invention. Fig. 2

d, and in the outer case, at a suitable distance from its upper end, ismade a partition, e, against which the inner end of the inner caseabuts. The sides of the outer case continue some distance beyond thispartition, and form a boxor receptacle, g, for matches. This match-boxis covered or closed with a sliding cover, i, such as shown.

By thus combining the two boxes in one case I dnd that the matches canbe much more conveniently carried, and more easily gotten at than wherethey are carried in the pocket.

Having thus described my invention, I claim- A cigarcase composed of thecase a, which has the pouch dinserted in one end, and a match-box, y,having a cover, t', substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this7th day of December, 1876.

WILLIAM H. DENNEY.
